Re: The definition of a bad beat!
I would consider any over pair beaten by an underpair all in preflop as a bad beat. Sure it isnt a horrible beat, but it is one you expect to win.
What crask me up are the people that call with A6o in the BB when I push with KT from the SB, then complain when I suck out. 60/40s are not bad beats, they just feel like it at times.
When you are running bad 22 beating your AK feels like such a horrible beat even though you were the underdog. (especially if they call your all in)
bad beats come from a mirage in a players mind of how many hands he is supposed to win. As soon as you go below the expected mark, any hand feels like a bad beat that you dont win. For instance pushing with KK getting called by AA and losing. You should lose this hand, but the player still feels cheated because KK should win, and all the rotten luck to run into AA,.. PP IS RIGGED!!!! This doesnt happen live.
